Visibility in the Inner Sounds is hovering between 5 to 6 metres at the moment, the water temp is slowly increasing and a long with it the alga bloom. Vis in the Outer Sounds hasn’t been that great due to the Northerly wind conditions, with 6 meters experienced at Waihi Point earlier in the week. On the Lerm vis on the outside is around 3 metres and pretty good inside, with the Engine room being very clear.

The weather doesn’t look like it is going to improve with gale force Norwests, Northerlies and then a Southerly due . Should be good for Monday with 10knot variable forecast. So it looks like the Inner Sounds are the place to be this weekend.

Have a good weekend and dive safe.
